"...thank you for bed..."

I think sometimes we forget to thank God for even the simplest things. Things that we totally take for granted. I realize that more especially in the wake of the tsunami that struck Japan. They are going without so many essentials that we as Americans take for granted. ie. food, clean water, shelter, etc.

Tonight my innocent two year old son also reminded me. His prayer tonight started out excited and full of inaudible mumbling. But suddenly his voice was clear:

"...and thank you for bed, my Uncle David, my church slide and thank you for my shower."

It really is the small things that we forget about.

Dear Lord, thank you so much for all the things you have given me and my family. Thank you for giving us our jobs to be able to provide my son with a bed and shower. And thank you so much for my wonderful church. Each week the wonderful volunteers share a small part of your love with my Daniel. And teach him to be grateful of what you give him. And Lord thank you for my family. Although I'm not sure why David got top billing over me! Never the less God, thank you for the wonderful family that my son is madly in love with.
